HI Everyone

Good news! The signing of the Supplementary IAH Bilateral Agreements took 
place today! See attached the news release. 
 


OTTAWA, ONTARIO, June 21, 2016 ? The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister 
of Families, Children and Social Development, and the Honourable Chris 
Ballard, Ontario?s Minister of Housing, today announced measures to give 
Canadians greater access to more affordable housing, including the 
doubling of current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing 
initiative, supporting affordable housing for seniors, building and 
renovating shelters and transition houses for victims of family violence, 
and addressing repairs and improving energy and water efficiency of 
existing social housing.
Federal Budget 2016 investments in affordable housing will provide 
targeted support to those who need it most, including in Ontario, and 
create good jobs that help grow Canada?s economy in a clean and 
sustainable way. The federal and provincial/territorial governments will 
work together to quickly deliver the new funding. Over the next two years, 
more than $640 million in new funding will be jointly invested in Ontario 
by the federal and provincial governments in various initiatives to 
support the housing needs of Ontarians.
Ontario is matching the Federal Government?s commitment to double the 
current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative. An 
additional $168 million in provincial funding will be available to build, 
renovate, and provide critical affordable housing across the province
